A news release from MnDOT says the Sept. 20 meeting gives the public a chance to learn more about a 2024 project that calls for building a reduced-conflict intersection at Hwy. 14 and County Rd. 9 and installation of a high-tension cable median barrier.  The plans also include pavement resurfacing from the western outskirts of Bryon through Kasson.

Officials say the corridor’s intersection with County Rd. 9 has a high risk for life-alerting crashes due to high traffic speeds and multi-lane crossing. The open-house meeting runs from 6-8 p.m. at the Dodge Center American Legion at 401 Hwy St. West.  

The news release says there will be a virtual option for motorists to review the project’s information and to provide comments. MnDOT has also set up a survey to gather feedback on the project.
